FIG. 9A is a schematic diagram of afiltering mouthpiece 70 disposed in the air-outlet channel 143 accordingto an embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG. 9A, when thefiltering mouthpiece 70 is inserted into the air-outlet channel 143, apart of the filtering mouthpiece 70 is exposed out of the housing 10, sothat the user may inhale the flue gas that is filtered by the filteringmouthpiece 70. In some embodiments, the filtering mouthpiece 70 may beimplemented by a conventional filtering mouthpiece. However, thisapplication does not limit thereto.

FIG. 9B and FIG. 9C are respectively a front view and a cross-sectionalview of a filtering mouthpiece 71 disposed in the air-outlet channel 143according to another embodiment of this application. In someembodiments, the filtering mouthpiece 71 may be implemented by a plasticfiltering mouthpiece or a silicone filtering mouthpiece. The filteringmouthpiece 71 includes an air-inlet channel 713, where the air-inletchannel 713 is in communication with the air-outlet channel 143. Theuser inhales the flue gas that is filtered by the filtering mouthpiece71. In some embodiments, the filtering mouthpiece 70 or 71 is detachablydisposed in the air-outlet channel 143.

FIG. 10 is a schematic operation diagram of an electronic cigarette 1according to an embodiment of this application. In detail, when thesupport 50 or 52 is disposed in the accommodation portion 11, thetransmission end 21 is engaged with the slot structure 511 of thesupport 50 or the slot structure 524 of the support 52. When thetransmission portion 12 starts a forward transmission operation, thetransmission end 21 moves downward together with the support 50 or thesupport 52 in the z-axis direction. When the support 50 or 52 isdisposed in the first accommodation region 111, the air heated by theheating portion 13 can flow into the support 50 or 52 to heat tobaccosor atomize the e-liquid media because a side of the support 50 or 52 isdesigned to be hollow, and gas generated through atomization flows intothe air-outlet channel 143 and is filtered by the filtering mouthpiece70 or 71 and then inhaled by a user, in which way the user can have afeeling of smoking. A direction of an arrow 14 f in FIG. 10 is an airflow direction. When the tobaccos or the e-liquid media located in thefirst accommodation region 111 are continuously converted into the fluegas, the transmission portion 12 continuously operates to drive thetransmission end 21 to continuously move downward together with thesupport 50 or 52 in the z-axis direction, thereby avoiding a continualheating after the tobaccos or the e-liquid media are used up.

Taking the support 50 for example, in some embodiments, each time theuser inhales, the transmission end 21 may move downward with the support50. Taking the support 50 for example, in some embodiments, when thetransmission end 21 moves to a lowermost end of the transmission portion12, a user may press a button (not shown) disposed on the housing 10 toinstantly reset the transmission end 21 together with the support 50 toan uppermost end.

Taking the support 50 for example, in some embodiments, to match thestructure of the support 50, the accommodation portion 11 in the housing10 may be a through-hole formed by running through the housing 10 fromtop to bottom. When the transmission end 21 moves to a lowermost end ofthe transmission portion 12, the user may draw the support 50 out of thebottom of the housing 10 and then again insert the support 50 into theaccommodation portion 11 from the top of the housing 10.

Taking the support 50 as an example, in some embodiments, when thetransmission end 21 moves to a lowermost end of the transmission portion12, which represents that all the tobaccos or the e-liquid media in thehousing 10 are all used up, and the user may discard the support 50after drawing the support 50 out of the bottom of the housing 10, andthen insert a new support 50.

Taking the support 52 as an example, in some embodiments, in a case thatthe tobaccos or the e-liquid media in the storage space 522 are used up,the user may draw the support 52 out, and insert the storage space 521downward into the accommodation region 11 to reuse.

FIG. 11 is a structural cross-sectional view of an electronic cigarette2 according to another embodiment of this application. The electroniccigarette 1 is substantially the same as the electronic cigarette 2,with the only difference in that: one end of an air-inlet channel 261 ofthe electronic cigarette 2 is in communication with the heating portion13, and the other end of the air-inlet channel 261 is in communicationwith a blower portion 262. The blower portion 262 feeds air into theheating portion 13 through the air-inlet channel 261, thereby heatingair. The heated air flows into the first accommodation region 111 andthe filtering mouthpiece sleeve 14. The component parts with the samelabels in the electronic cigarette 1 and the electronic cigarette 2 arenot described in detail herein again.

Resistance felt by the user when inhaling from the filtering mouthpiecesleeve 14 may be adjusted by operating the blower portion 262. In someembodiments, the blower portion 262 may increase the inhalationresistance felt by the user. In some embodiments, the blower portion 262may reduce the inhalation resistance felt by the user.

The electronic cigarette 8 may further include a filtering mouthpiece,where the filtering mouthpiece is inserted into the air-outlet channel843 of the filtering mouthpiece sleeve 84 through the air-outlet end 842of the filtering mouthpiece sleeve 84, and the filtering mouthpiece isconfigured to filter a flue gas.

FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram of a filtering mouthpiece 90 disposed inan air-outlet channel 843 according to an embodiment of thisapplication. As shown in FIG. 13, when the filtering mouthpiece 90 isinserted into the air-outlet channel 843, a part of the filteringmouthpiece 90 is exposed out of the housing 80, so that the user mayinhale the flue gas filtered by the filtering mouthpiece 90.

FIG. 14 is a schematic operation diagram of a cartridge row YDSaccording to another embodiment of this application. The cartridge rowYDS may be disposed in the accommodation portion 81 and extend in thez-axis direction. The cartridge row YDS includes a plurality ofcartridges YD arranged in the z-axis direction. The cartridge YD may bea cake tobacco, or the cartridge YD may include a cartridge case with amiddle hollow structure in which tobaccos or e-liquid media are located.In some embodiments, the cartridge YD may include tobaccos or ediblee-liquid media. Upper and lower surfaces of the cartridge YD aredesigned to be a hollow structure, so that air may flow into thecartridge YD. In some embodiments, the cartridge YD may include acompressed tobacco quid. In some embodiments, the cartridge YD mayinclude a solid tobacco quid.

FIG. 15 is a schematic operation diagram of an electronic cigarette 87according to an embodiment of this application. In detail, after thecartridge row YDS is disposed in the accommodation portion 81, acartridge (such as a cartridge YD1) located at a lowermost end entersthe first accommodation region 811, and the user pushes the cartridgeYD1 inside by pressing the transmission portion 82. In this way, airheated by the heating portion 83 may flow into the cartridge YD1 to heattobaccos or atomize e-liquid media. A gas generated by heating thetobaccos or atomizing the e-liquid media flows into the air-outletchannel 843 and is filtered by the filtering mouthpiece 90 and theninhaled by a user, in which way, the user can have a feeling of smoking.Nicotine in the tobaccos may be released in a manner of heating ratherthan combustion, and compared with a conventional cigarette, theelectronic cigarette may significantly reduce harmful substancesgenerated by burning tobaccos.

A direction of an arrow 90 f in FIG. 15 is an air flow direction. Whenthe tobaccos or the e-liquid media in the cartridge YD1 are used up, theuser may again press the transmission portion 82. In this way, a newcartridge (such as a cartridge YD2) is pushed inside, and the used-upcartridge YD1 is transferred to the lead-out region 87.
